BRIAN J. BEATRICE

Gnaw embarks on their first European tour on October 13th, 2010. After being invited to this year’s Supersonic Festival in Birmingham, UK, Gnaw decide to tack on 2 weeks of European dates to precede it. The specifics are still in the works and everything is subject to change, but it’s looking something like this:

October 13 Antwerp
October 14 Brussels
October 15 Bielefeld
October 16 Paris
October 17 Lausanne
October 18 Karlruhe
October 19 TBD
October 20 Lyon
October 21 Milan
October 23 UK Birmingham Supersonic Festival

1981 LP Custom > Blackout Effectors Musket > Line6 POD, Tube Preamp Setting, No Drive

It took too many years of searching and deliberating, but I finally pulled the trigger and couldn’t be more pissed that I didn’t do it sooner. This thing is a beast. Nicknamed by its previous owner “Ronson” after the late under-acclaimed guitarist  and collaborator of David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust years (among other things) because of the natural wood finish, this guitar is a 1981 Les Paul Custom. All stock except the professional refret job. Sick.

Mick Ronson in 1973 as one of the “Spiders from Mars” with his similar Les Paul Custom:

Overdue perhaps, but it took a while to pare this one down. 2009 was a great year and, after an initially bloated and schizophrenic compilation, I managed to create a jumpy but very listen-able 68 minutes. As usual, depending on your tastes, you may have to sludge through the loud parts to get to the quiet or vice-versa. Download it at the following FTP link. Enjoy!
